What Fitzroy Community Hospice says about RosterElf
1. Why they chose RosterElf
"Having a system that links with Xero seamlessly is a huge timesaver, and based on other software used in the past, it is far easier to use."
As a new not-for-profit organisation, Fitzroy Community Hospice needed a workforce management system that was both affordable and capable. Competitive pricing, strong Xero integration, and support for multiple awards made RosterElf the clear choice.
The all-in-one approach — covering rostering, time clocks, and payroll prep in a single platform — meant they could get set up quickly without juggling multiple tools.
2. Staff feedback
Staff have found RosterElf easy to use, with a smooth adoption process and low training overhead. The system was straightforward enough that team members could get started quickly without extensive onboarding.
While there were minor clock-in issues early on, these were easily resolved. Overall, the transition to digital rostering and time tracking has been well received by the team.
3. Favourite feature: ease of use
When asked about their favourite feature, the answer was simple — ease of use. In a healthcare environment where staff are focused on delivering care, software needs to stay out of the way and just work.
